Description
A great climb with pretty good rock. Pitch one is a fun, well-protected chimney that leads to a spacious belay ledge with a palo verde tree or off of a single, old, rusty bolt. Pitch two is a solid but short hand crack with two old pitons. The guidebook states that it is strenuous, awkward seems more fitting.
A single, original bolt gets you off the top back to the ledge. We slung the palo verde for the second rappel.
You can easily see the second pitch crack and palo verde tree from the base of The Hand.
Location
Less than a one minute walk from the Razor's Edge start. Walk east to the end of the formation and locate obvious chimney. Continuing around the corner one will locate The Dorsil and Chockstone Chimney.
Protection
Standard rack to #4, great nut placements.
